In the above embodiment, the central tube 23 is coaxial with the extrusion cavity formed by connecting the front die cavity 21, the rotating cavity 24 and the rear die cavity 22, an annular extrusion channel is formed between the outer wall of the central tube 23 and the inner wall of the extrusion cavity, the feed port 222 introduces the melt in the screw extruder 1 into the annular extrusion channel, the melt dispersedly fills the space in the groove 221 under the action of pressure and gradually flows to the second channel 241 and the first channel 211 in sequence, in the conventional process, the flow process is driven by the extrusion pressure of the screw extruder 1, the melt is fluid, and the flow has a tendency to flow out of the annular extrusion channel along the shortest channel, so that there is a problem that the flow dispersion of the melt fluid in the annular extrusion channel is uneven, for example, the melt near the side of the feed port 222 is not easy to flow to the side far from the feed port 222. The rotation driving member 25 is used to drive the rotation cavity 24 to rotate around the axis, and in the rotation process, the molten material flowing through the second channel 241 is driven by the rotation of the inner wall of the second channel 241 to be rotationally mixed at the second channel 241, so that the molten material is uniformly mixed and dispersed in the second channel 241.
In some embodiments, the inner surface of the second channel 241 is axially provided with a helical protrusion 2411.
In the above embodiment, when the rotation chamber 24 rotates, the driving action of the molten material located in the second channel 241 is achieved by the viscosity action between the inner wall of the second channel 241 and the molten material, the stirring effect is relatively limited, and it is difficult for the stirring action to be formed between the layers of the molten material in the radial direction, in order to overcome this problem, the spiral protrusions 2411 of the auger shape are provided on the inner surface of the second channel 241, the spiral protrusion 2411 is arranged along the axial direction of the second channel 241, and the spiral protrusion 2411 can improve the exchange effect of the interlayer materials and promote stirring on one hand, and on the other hand, the auger-shaped spiral protrusion 2411 can play a role in pushing flow along the axial direction when stirring, so that the material exchange stirring of the molten materials at the axial position and the outer position is further enhanced.
In some embodiments, the height of the helical projection 2411 is preferably 1/3-2/3 of the distance between the inner wall of the second channel 241 and the outer wall of the center tube 23.
The screw protrusions 2411 with the above height can play a better stirring role, and the molten material is relatively not easy to adhere to the screw protrusions 2411 to block the channel.
In some embodiments, the first channel 211, the second channel 241, and the groove 221 are all cylindrical, and the first channel 211, the second channel 241, and the groove 221 are coaxially disposed and have the same inner diameter.
In the above embodiment, when the inner diameters are the same, the resistance is smaller during the flow of the material from the groove 221 into the first passage 211.
In some embodiments, the mold further comprises a connecting plate 3, and the front mold cavity 21 and the rear mold cavity 22 are fixedly installed on the surface of the connecting plate 3.
In the above embodiment, the connecting plate 3 is used to connect the front mold cavity 21, the rear mold cavity 22 and the rotating cavity 24, specifically, the three are connected with the connecting plate 3 through bolts, and the connecting plate 3 is used to connect the three, so that the disassembly, replacement and maintenance of the front mold cavity 21, the rear mold cavity 22 and the rotating cavity 24 can be realized.
In some embodiments, the end of the rotating cavity 24 adjacent to the front cavity 21 is provided with a first chamfer 242 along the outer circumference, and the inner side of the first channel 211 is provided with a second chamfer 2111 along the circumference, and the first chamfer 242 is in sliding fit with the second chamfer 2111.
In the above embodiment, since the rotating cavity 24 is rotationally connected with the front cavity 21, and the extrusion die 2 needs to bear a larger pressure, the dynamic sealing effect of the rotating connection part needs to be improved as much as possible in the rotating process, and chamfer surfaces are respectively provided on the outer periphery of the rotating cavity 24 and the inner periphery of the first channel 211 of the front cavity 21, and the chamfer surfaces are tapered surfaces, so that on one hand, the contact area of the sliding fit part can be improved, the sealing effect is good, and on the other hand, the tapered surfaces also have positioning and guiding effects, and can keep the axis alignment between the first channel 211 and the second channel 241.
In some embodiments, further comprising a first thrust bearing 4, an inner race of the first thrust bearing 4 is coaxially embedded over the first chamfer face 242, and an outer race of the first thrust bearing 4 is coaxially embedded over the second chamfer face 2111.
In the above embodiment, when the surfaces are in contact, the friction force is large, in order to avoid the problems of large friction force and serious abrasion caused by direct contact friction of materials, the first thrust bearing 4 is adopted to connect two chamfer surfaces, specifically, the first thrust bearing 4 is conical, and has a conical outer ring surface and a conical inner ring surface, and the two conical surfaces are used for carrying out matching connection with the first chamfer surface 242 and the second chamfer surface 2111 in decibels.
In some embodiments, the first thrust bearing 4 may be a sealed thrust bearing.
In some embodiments, to achieve a mating connection with the first thrust bearing 4, corresponding positioning grooves are formed in the surfaces of the first chamfer surface 242 and the second chamfer surface 2111 in the circumferential direction, and the positioning grooves are respectively used for embedding an inner ring and an outer ring of the first thrust bearing 4.
In some embodiments, the end of the rotating cavity 24 near the rear mold cavity 22 is provided with a third chamfer 243 along the outer circumference, and a fourth chamfer 2211 is provided along the circumference on the inner side of the groove 221, and the third chamfer 243 is in sliding fit with the fourth chamfer 2211.
Similarly, in order to improve the dynamic sealing effect, a certain centering effect is achieved, and a conical chamfer is adopted to perform sliding fit between the rotating cavity 24 and the rear die cavity 22.
In some embodiments, the second thrust bearing 5 is further included, an inner ring of the second thrust bearing 5 is coaxially embedded on the third chamfer 243, and an outer ring of the second thrust bearing 5 is coaxially embedded on the fourth chamfer 2211.
In the above embodiment, the mounting manner and structure of the second thrust bearing 5 are the same as those of the first thrust bearing 4, and the second thrust bearing 5 is used as a rotational connector, so that the third chamfer 243 is prevented from directly sliding contact with the fourth chamfer 2211, and the sliding resistance is reduced.
In some embodiments, the surfaces of the third chamfer 243 and the fourth chamfer 2211 are also provided with annular grooves for mating with the inner ring and the outer ring of the second thrust bearing 5, and are connected by embedding, thereby improving the sealing property.
In some embodiments, the second thrust bearing 5 may be a sealed thrust bearing.
In some embodiments, the device further comprises a combustion nozzle 6, wherein the combustion nozzle 6 is fixedly arranged on the connecting plate 3, and the air jet opening of the combustion nozzle 6 is arranged opposite to the outer surface of the rotating cavity 24.
In the above embodiment, since the rotation chamber 24 needs to be maintained to rotate, crystallization is easily caused in the melt during rotation, and in order to avoid this problem, the combustion nozzle 6 is used to heat the rotation chamber 24 in order to improve the stirring effect during rotation, thereby heating the melt inside and improving the fluidity of the melt.
In some embodiments, an annular protrusion structure is provided on a side of the inner side surface of the first channel 211 adjacent to the second channel 241, the annular protrusion structure protruding from the inner side wall of the first channel 211.
In the above embodiment, the annular protrusion structure is used for blocking and disturbing the material layer on the side of the molten material flowing into the first channel 211, which is close to the inner wall of the first channel 211, so that the forced plug flow stirring effect is achieved, unlike the spiral stirring effect of the spiral protrusion 2411, when the molten material flows through the annular protrusion structure, the flow channel is suddenly reduced, the pressure in the fluid is increased, the flow velocity is increased, and meanwhile, the process is favorable for eliminating the structures such as bubbles and air gaps in the fluid, further improving the surface and the internal quality of the extruded material, and reducing the internal defects.
In some embodiments, a second annular protrusion is integrally formed on the outer surface of the central tube 23 and on the side of the annular protrusion structure near the outlet 212, and the second annular protrusion and the annular protrusion structure form a labyrinth-like structure.
In the above embodiment, the second annular bulge is matched with the annular bulge structure, so that the molten material can be extruded and stirred again, the defects of internal bubbles or air gaps and the like are promoted to be eliminated, and meanwhile, the stirring effect is enhanced.
In some embodiments, the side of the second annular projection adjacent to the outlet 212 smoothly transitions with the outer surface of the center tube 23.
In the above embodiment, the smoothly transitioned second annular projection facilitates filling the extruded molten material in the first channel 211, avoiding underfilling.
In some embodiments, the method of processing the extruder of the above embodiments comprises:
The driving wire rod is conveyed to one side of the discharge hole 212 at a constant speed in the central tube 23, the screw extruder 1 extrudes molten material into the groove 221, the molten material gradually flows through the second channel 241 and the first channel 211 under the pressure effect and finally is extruded from the discharge hole 212, in the process of flowing through the second channel 241, the rotation driving piece 25 is started to drive the rotation cavity 24 to rotate, thereby rotationally stirring the molten material flowing through the second channel 241, the extruded molten material is sleeved outside the wire rod, and the cable is obtained after stretching and cooling.
In other embodiments, the combustion nozzle 6 may be turned on, and the rotating chamber 24 may be heated by the combustion nozzle 6 to maintain the temperature inside the rotating chamber 24 within a target temperature range, so as to maintain good fluidity of the molten materials.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention is not intended to be limiting, but rather is intended to cover all modifications, equivalents, alternatives, and improvements that fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
